Akara Longs for the Waiting

48

On the plane, Kai sat down while listening to the instructions of the flight attendant who was delivering the announcement before taking off.

“Dear passengers, welcome to Flight CA125 to Pekanbaru. Currently we are third for takeoff and are expected to be on the air in about seven minutes ahead.”

Kai who sits with strangers prefers to reach for his phone. The sad feeling of having to leave the city of the lover really makes his feelings mixed, he then looks for Meysa's contact name and starts typing something there.

One by one, the type that Kai wrote made his heart taste pain. It sounds good, but that's the situation. He's really not that strong. The first meeting with Meysa really made her steps feel heavy leaving the girl.

Just after Kai pressed the send sign, the unfinished flight attendant made the announcement to all passengers to make sure all electronics were dead.

”We urge you to fasten your seat belt and secure all baggage under your seat or in the upper compartment. We also request that your seat and desk tray be in an upright position for takeoff.

“Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and mobile phones. Smoking is prohibited during the flight. Thank you for choosing Lion Air. Welcome to enjoy logging with us.!”

Right after hearing that, Kai instantly deactivated his phone in airplane mode, then turned off the phone to make it more afdol. After that, Kai put it in a sling bag attached to the chest

Now the sound of the announcement is heard changing, from what used to be Indonesian to English. The voice of the flight attendant sounded melodious giving directions.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome onboard CA125 5o Pekanbaru. We are currently third in line for take-off and are expected to be in the air in approximate seven minutes time.”

We ask that you please fasten your seatbelts at this time and secure all baggage underneath your seat or in the overhead compartments. We also ask that your seats and table trays are in the upright position for take-off”

“Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of the flight. Thank you for choosing Lion Air. Enjoy your flight with us.”

Kai made sure his seatbelt and seat were really comfortable. He then stretched out his body by leaning. Not forgetting to wear a mask, a hat attached to the head rather he lowered it so that it covered his entire face.

The man closed his eyes, trying to sleep but his mind kept on Meysa. The shadows of togetherness that they had spent these few days continued to dance beautifully in memory.

The sound of the aircraft engine began to sound . As a sign of preparing for takeoff. The voice of the pilot and co-pilot is heard conveying a few words, indicating the plane will actually fly soon. Evidently with the sound of the engine that was increasingly roaring, along with the movement that Kai felt began to climb. But he remained in the same position, which is sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

Trying to sleep but his mind wanders, cursing the powerless who have not been able to justify Meysa.

While on the other side. Meysa who was dragging a step in the middle of a feeling of sadness that whack looks so uninspired. He skirted the parking area along with the ringing of a mobile phone vibrating inside the bag.

He then reached into his bag and grabbed the phone when he arrived at the side of the motorbike. Meysa leaned in there. Under the rising sun he read a message that had just come in.

Star : Bee, if you go home carefully on the road, take care of your health, take care of yourself! I love you!

The plane wants to take off. I'll tell you later, Bee.

Love you great womanku😘.

The message from the loved one instantly made his eyes condense again. It feels heavy to take off Kai, I don't know how much more time to spend in a long distance relationship.

Meysa is afraid of not being able to remember what kind of obstacles and obstacles are ready to face in front. Which might make their hearts waver to even make them unable to continue the struggle. Many things that Meysa thought, fear of everything that happened made her heart not careless. He feared that what had been sacrificed today would be in vain in the future.

“I'm afraid that in the end we will only learn from each other and remember each other, I'm afraid that if we don't become the end of all the waiting and hope that we have built!" lirih Meysa who started sobbing. In fact, he clasped his phone tightly, hugging it in his chest.

However, when a plane sounded in the air above him, he looked up with an indiscernible feeling. Lion Air, the writing on the plane body that is still clearly visible from the direction it makes Meysa's mind fixed on Kai.

He glanced at the watch in his hand.

Seven minutes had passed, which meant that the iron bird was what Kai used. Do'a and good wishes accompany Kai's departure.

Slowly the plane got farther away until it became a small point that began to wade through the sky. It's airing bravely up there.

Meysa is back alone. No longer befriending the Stars, the figure of the Moon that has been cheerful for the past few days must return to feel lonely. The celestial object that once promised to accompany him to sail that night has not been able to fulfill his promise and bring him along.

“You out?"

The voice of someone made Meysa quickly stop her grief event. His hand moved to wipe away the tears, he turned to look at the source of the voice after him.

The carpenter, who thought he had trouble getting the bike out, came over, ready to provide assistance. Meysa nodded her question. Incidentally, he did not have the power to just pull out the motor.

“Already, sis!" The parker exclaimed as he pointed at Meysa's motorbike which was facing the exit.

Meysa then stepped in lethargicly.

“Still!" he said while offering five thousand for parking services. As a sign of gratitude for helping at the right time.

“His return, sis!"

The sound of the parking lot makes Meysa who has been riding on the motorbike and is about to use a helmet to turn her head again.

“Take it, brother!" with a flat face. Even to speak, he felt not strong.

“Oh, thank you very much le!" the parking attendant seemed happy to be given more money.

Meysa simply nodded, her hand moved grabbing the helms to use. But instead, his eyes were fixed on the helmet Kai was wearing when he left earlier. Faza's, it's just that as long as Kai's there, he wears it a lot.

Makes the sad feeling come back. The motorbike drove away from the airport with a feeling of sadness, the shadow of being with Kai made him want to quickly get home. I can't wait to spill my sadness in my room.

The girl arrived home before Zuhur. With a hasty step he entered the room. Crying without fear of anyone hearing is an incredible freedom, can make the feeling more relieved.

Upon arrival in Meysa's room she fell on the bed after removing her headscarf and throwing it away, strewn across the floor. His face was on the bed. Spilling all his sadness, this situation was exactly like when Kai had not given it up just yet.

Meysa flipped over the body, she rubbed the shimmering clear fur. His hand grabbed the phone, repeatedly staring at the photo he had with Kai that was taken as much as possible while together before returning to separate as it is now.

While sobbing with tears, Meysa opened her social media and chose a photo of Kai to post on IG's story.

Write Meysa on the caption by tagging Kai's Instagram account. Not to forget he also uploaded the same photo in WA, just different caption only.

“Safe flight, I'll miss you so much, bee ⁇ " wrote Meysa by pinning the emot of two people who love each other.

He unceasingly looked at the photo of Kai being taken when the man was waiting in line for his boarding pass while still at the airport. Kai looks so charming with a smile outstretched while talking to a passenger next to him making the photo a candid photo.

Just staring at the photo managed to make Meysa's chest rumble. He could feel Kai's existence through the photo. The heart that always beats every time it is near Kai, making Meysa's memory focused on every moment that is done with Kai. His treatment, his mischievous nature, his way of speaking and everything always managed to get him hooked. He loves everything that is on Kai.

The feeling of the stranger was so sincere and unchanging, even before the meeting.

On the sidelines, Meysa's lips smiled in light of the sweet things she had done with Kai. Where is the first time Kai ventured to hug and even lift a kiss on his forehead. It really made Meysa's heart stop beating, just that she was always trying to be calm, like Kai did.

Meysa turned back to face, she sobbed again. It seems like from this moment on she really became a sad girl.

Sleeping because of sadness and fatigue mixed into one is the most calming thing. The girl fell asleep because she was sad.

Making Rena who just came home from school just saw the face of Meysa. Sleep disheveled, with his hand still holding the phone made him sigh to see how sad the friend.

“Hopefully get married soon so that Ndak LDRan!" lirih Rena while opening the uniform printout attached to her body.

But immediately he rectifies his words when he realizes that if Meysa marries Kai, his best friend will automatically come along with Kai. Rena can't afford to be far away from Meysa. Which made him choose to work in the city because Meysa was there. He did not want to be far from his best friend, even though Rena's parents had told him to go home since the graduation was over.

“Ish but if you marry Kai, we'll be far away, Meysa!" Rena is not willing. However, they will remain separated if they have a family and their lives.

“Ck, Cassian once!" lirih Rena when closer to see Meysa's phone that lights up because there is a notification. Until showing the lockscreen with a photo of both of them that look romantic and aesthetic, where Kai is leaning his head on Meysa's shoulder. Meysa herself showed only her shoulders and hijab.

“This is so tired of crying to sleep!" screeching Rena while looking at Meysa's face, her eyelids look swollen.

“Padahan want to be told to help you move things!"

Rena who has changed clothes began to pack her things, she will return to the boarding room which for a week was controlled by a stranger, Kai.

“Finally get a good night's sleep!" Rena is laying her body on her beloved bed. Sleeping with Meysa is not bad, but sleeping alone is more pleasant because there will be no more snoring that disturbs the ears that make sleep not soundly. Though without Rena know if he often snores like Meysa. Just not conscious. Even all living things must have snored.

Rena tidied up her room that was not dirty because Kai left the room in a neat and clean state.

“Kai is clean as well as the person!" Rena's eyes look at the clean room, so it does not have to be hard to clean. Kai is responsible and reliable. There's not even trash or leftover cigarette butts like most boys' rooms.

Rena began to arrange her things as usual. At the study table, he marked a piece of paper containing a sketch of a building that was the result of a hand stroke Kai. Makes Rena once again amazed at him because Kai still spends his time meeting Meysa in the midst of busyness.

....

In the other hemisphere, in western Indonesia. Precisely in Malay land, Pekanbaru city, Riau.

A plane with a flight route from Palu to Pekanbaru landed safely at Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport.

The figure of a man who had just arrived in his native land was observed following the arrival room at the airport. That face looks lethargic. He had just returned after a week ago to visit the idol, a virtual girl he knew two years ago.

Where the meeting became the first meeting that finally can be realized after a long time. Although only for a moment, but able to provide extraordinary happiness. The virtual figure is able to make his heart fall so deep, had chosen away to improve themselves not necessarily make his feelings change, even able to love and keep the heart for each other lost. So big and genuine that feeling, even the feeling got bigger after yesterday's meeting.

The man was Kai, the face that had looked lethargic was immediately excited after trying hard and giving support to yourself not to be discouraged so that what he wanted could be achieved soon. That is to justify the beloved lover who is far away in the land of Celebes there.

Although the LDRan returns with his beloved, He must remain enthusiastic. After getting out of the plane Kai pulled himself over in a chair. He then reached for a mobile phone, the first thing he checked was a message from a contact emoticon that Moon. But there had been no reply since the last message he sent before leaving.

Kai was not angry at all. Maybe Meysa was tired and busy so he could not return the message. Then he sent back a message.

Kai : Honey, thank you for coming!

It's the same, there's no reply. With that Kai took the initiative to contact Meysa directly. He wanted to let me know if he had arrived safely. Kai didn't want to make the girl think.

However, of the few regular video and phone calls made, none were picked up.

Kai: Busy, huh?

Be well there, take care of your health!

I'll call you back when I get home.

After typing some messages. Jari Kai then switched to looking for Satria's name to contact. But, his lucky friend didn't even pick up his phone. He wanted to be picked up. Kai is lazy if you have to use the services of a taxi or ojek online to go home.

Actually he could have asked bang Albi to pick up, only Kai did not want to be interrogated. Surely his brother would find him for asking to be picked up at the airport, while he did not tell his family about his departure to Meysa.

Not that he did not want to open up, just that Kai intended to tell it later at the right time. Especially before his relationship with Meysa was tenuous and only improved a few days ago.

He and Meysa are back together. Continuing the story with the same person makes a sense of happiness in the heart.

Kai sighed in annoyance when Satria also did not pick up the phone. Make him try to contact Ojik. Only two of them knew about his departure. So he didn't have to explain much to them. Unfortunately, no one answered the phone. Kai was upset because at the same time the three men did not pick up the phone.

“Anjir, no one lifts!" yelled Kai in annoyance.

Not wanting to linger at the airport he finally chose to go home using an ojek. He could not wait to bathe and lay down on the bed, he missed the roll and the pillow. Lover who is always faithful accompany and spend the night together. Maybe later it will stop hugging the bolster if Meysa is already his wife. Kai smiled imagining that.

“Where?" ask the taxi driver with a special accent of the area.

“Kartama Road!" Kai patted the bouncer's back. The motor drove away from the airport.
